David was an excellent tour guide. He is American, so there was no language issue. He’s lived in Madrid, long enough, and given enough food tours that he really knows his way around. We had a nice sampling of local food. Overall, it was excellent.

David was exceptional at showing us the whole-in-the-wall places for the best bites in Madrid!

Excellent

David showed us the markets and we had all the typical Spanish foods including churros and calamari sandwiches. I would recommend this tour and don’t have breakfast before you go on the tour. Our big mistake.

Know Before You Go

Is this a walking food tour?

Yes, we stroll through two central neighborhoods at a relaxed pace (about 2 km total), with plenty of food breaks and seating.

How much food is included?

15+ tastings at 8 spots—more than enough for a full meal. Come hungry! Water will be served at some spots, but we recommend bringing a water bottle if you get thirsty.

Do morning and evening tours differ?

Morning tours start with churros and hot chocolate; evening tours begin with tapas and beer. Everything else is the same.

Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?

We can accommodate vegetarians and guests who prefer non-caffeinated drinks. Unfortunately, due to the nature of French pastries, this tour is not ideal for gluten- or dairy-free diets.

Do we visit a real market?

Yes—an authentic neighborhood market where you’ll taste local staples and meet vendors we’ve worked with for years.

What neighborhoods do we explore?

You’ll visit Madrid’s Literary Quarter (Barrio de las Letras) and the historic center—both rich with culture, charm, and local flavor.

What makes this Madrid food tour different?

This is the original. Created in 2012, it’s built on real relationships—not just restaurant partnerships. You’ll eat with locals, at places we’ve trusted for generations—and walk away with a deeper connection to Madrid.
